June 10 2010 - Where are all the people?

Hey there

So it's hot in Utah, and I mean really hot, I love it. When I woke up this morning it was raining cats and dogs but now it's just beautiful.

As you probably know, Salt Lake City is like the homebase of the Latter Day Saints otherwise known as Mormones. So of cours most of the sights here are kind of related to them, like their huge office building and the convention center:




And of course, Temple Square which is actually quite pretty. There was a wedding going on there. I thought I could catch a glimps at the bride but no luck.





I have to say, I find Salt Lake a bit confusing. There's nobody on the streets anywhere and restaurants don't open till 11.30am. weird. Oh and every single woman I see is wearing a skirt! Is that just coinsidence?

Another nice thing to see in the city in my opinion is this:

That's a train station that gives me the feeling of being in the wild west!

I found a mall!!! And that's the first time I entered real stores since I've been here. but I've been good, I just looked and haven't bought anything. I'm trying to keep that up till New York. That was also the plan last year, it didn't really work out then. Hope it goes better this year :)

And for everyone at home, that's what shopping looks like in the States!

Right now I'm sitting in Starbucks having my first real coffee since I've been here and let me say, it is sooooooo good and I soo needed it.
The girl told me there was no free wifi here but I can use the internet from the apple store next door, so cool.

Next I'm gonna go to the best store ever, Forever 21, let's see if I can keep the 'just look, don't buy' thing up. Then it's already time to head back to the hostel, get Johnny (that's my backpack) and head back to greyhound. Next stop, Colorado Springs! (Maybe I'll run into Dr. Quinn :) )

Talk to you soon

xoxo
